Multidasm

Note

Multidasm currently doesn't support runtime assembling. This is planned for the future.

Multidasm is a quick, dynamic comptime assembler for D. It targets CIL, x86, x86_64, and MIPS with minimal overhead and maximal throughput. Each backend uses a Block type, instruction methods, optional label(name), and finalize() to produce assembled bytes.

Modules

Module	Target	Status
multidasm.amd64	x86 / x86_64 with MMX, SSE, AVX, AVX2	79%
multidasm.mips	MIPS32 integer core, big-endian	27%
multidasm.cil	Common Intermediate Language (ECMA-335)	100%

Per-assembler documentation:

• AMD64 - Register and memory operands, REX/VEX prefixes, instruction encoding.
• MIPS - GPRs, I-type/J-type/R-type encoding, branch and jump label patching.
• CIL - Stack-based opcodes, branch labels, prefixes, metadata tokens.

Installation

dub add multidasm

For local development in this workspace:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "multidasm": {
            "path": "../multidasm"
        }
    }
}

Usage

AMD64

Use Block!false for x86 and Block!true for x86_64. Registers are sized (Reg!8, Reg!16, Reg!32, Reg!64) and memory operands use Mem!(size).

import multidasm.amd64;

Block!true code;
with (code)
{
    mov(rax, rdi);
    add(rax, rsi);
    ret();
}

ubyte[] assembled = code.finalize();

MIPS

MIPS uses Block with GPR registers and Mem operands. Output is big-endian. Labels are resolved automatically in finalize().

import multidasm.mips;

Block code;
with (code)
{
    addiu(rv0, rzero, 10);
    label("loop");
    addiu(rv0, rv0, -1);
    bne(rv0, rzero, "loop");
    nop();
}

ubyte[] assembled = code.finalize();

CIL

CIL uses Block with stack-based opcodes. Branches and switches use string labels patched during finalize().

import multidasm.cil;

Block code;
with (code)
{
    ldcI4_0();
    stloc0();
    label("loop");
    ldloc0();
    ldcI4(1);
    add();
    stloc0();
    ldloc0();
    ldcI4(10);
    blt("loop");
    ret();
}

ubyte[] assembled = code.finalize();
